got my last cow Elk today and good thing too it was the last day. nice big cow alot of fat cow was eating good. My son was with me it was his first time hunting and he is hooked. I shot her at 125yds with my 264wm 140gr S.S.T.. They sure do alot of damage. So far this year I killed 3 cows got meat till next season. Today I ran into a nice herd of 200, only two bulls though one was a nice 6x6 the other a spike but his horns were at least 4 feet.
 
congrats on the cow. 3 cows this year? how did you manage that? i have also never seen a spike that big. any chance on getting pictures of this bull? what state is it in? just curious. again...congrats on the cow and having your son there.
 
I took pictures of that bull I will post as soon as I get the pictures back. Here In Colorado you could hunt 3 cows the first hunt was in Sept on the Nature Conservancy a special hunt next I applied for the dec 1 to dec 31 hunt in Unit 82. next pick up a leftover cow for private land only that one runs from Sept 1 to January 31 in unit 82. On the Nature Conservacy ther is a herd of 5,000 Elk this year was my second hunt there they dont advertise this hunt you just sign up for it around april anybody can applied it is a first come basis, it is gaurantee meat it is only for cow Elk. just call 719 587 6900 and they will give you the info. its easy too you just park your vehicle at the gas station in Mosca little town in the San Luis Valley, and they take you in ther vehicle, sometimes you might have to walk but most of the time you drive right up to them. Dont get me wrong when you do have to walk its no walk in the park 2 years ago I had to walk 7 miles in the sand to get my Cow but the cow are all eaten Alfalfa so they are very big and tasty.
 
Sounds like you did get alot of meat. Thanks for the info on the hunts. I hope the pictures turn out. I would be happy to help you post them if you would like to. Again, Congrats on a successful year.
 
Its in the San Luis Valley on Mt. Blanca at the first bald spot that looks like a deer. Costilla is about 40 miles from where I hunt. its on the sand dunes highway
 
sure am. Thats funny because on the day we shot those cows, my dad,brother and I had each shot one and my dad thought he had shot my Cow and I had told him his was near the road and he thought I was going to steal his cow. He told me in language that refered to putting something in my rearend, and he said that he wasnt hungry so I could keep his. To make along story short we found his and everybody was happy.
 
if you guys ever in my neck of the woods I show you some nice bulls and bucks
